A moral failure: Why Isaac Herzog is no guest of honor by Olivia Jurincic

A growing coalition of human rights advocates, legal experts, anti-Zionist Jews and community groups want Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to cancel his invitation to Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia.

While Albanese frames Herzog’s visit as a gesture of solidarity, following the antisemitic terror attack in Bondi, many argue it is a grave moral failure.

Herzog is not a “moderate” diplomat; he is a leader of a genocidal government, responsible for the ongoing destruction of Palestinian people in Gaza and the Occupied Territories.
